💎 Gem Bet: Elliot Anderson - Over 0.5 Shots @ 1.57 (bet365)

✅ bet365 - 1.57
William Hill - 1.25
SkyBet - 1.08

Yes, it’s the dreaded international break, once again, but that doesn’t mean we can’t extend the Gem streak to eight in a row. And there’s no better way to do it than by backing Elliot Anderson to pull the trigger at least once.

Priced at 1.57 with bet365, Anderson is as short as 1.07 elsewhere (implying a ridiculous 93.5% likelihood). Considering his shooting output and the open nature expected of this friendly, the value here is impossible to ignore.

Despite operating from a deeper role, Anderson is far from a traditional holding midfielder. His technical quality, driving runs, and ability to break lines make him a genuine box-to-box threat who often drifts into advanced areas. That is reflected in his numbers, too.

For Nottingham Forest this season, Anderson is averaging 1.56 shots per 90 across all competitions, registering at least one attempt in six of his last nine appearances, with recent returns of 0, 3, 4, 2, and 1. His international record strengthens the case further: he registered a shot on debut against Andorra and repeated the feat three days later against Serbia.

That kind of instinct translates perfectly into Tuchel’s England setup, where both players in the double pivot are encouraged to push forward and contribute in the final third.

And given this is a friendly, where it is likely to be a looser, more expressive environment, Anderson should enjoy even more freedom to step up and test the goalkeeper. At 1.57, this line feels significantly overpriced. With his role, confidence, and attacking tendencies, this looks like an ideal way to kick off the international break and push the Gem streak to eight.
